Predators sign Riberio and Derek Roy to 1 year deals. When no one wants to come play for your team, these are the kinds of FA's you have to take.

How bad of behavior problem child is Riberio if the PHX buys you out using a REGULAR buyout and only 1 year after signing a long-term deal (could not use compliance buyout b/c contract was signed *after* lockout).

The Riberio signing would have never happened if Trotz was still coach.

In other news, Paul Ranger leaves TOR to go play in the Swiss league -- the league where all ex-Lightning players are required to play at some point in their post-Tampa career. Norse mythology has their Valhalla... Lightning mythology has the NLA.
